NFL teams are just too large. It isnt just the players... or the coaches... its also all the support personnel. And a lot of the people involved are high risk..  I just don't see how this could realistically work.

Unfortunately, I think within 2-3 weeks of this weekend, it's going to be very clear that team sports aren't going to be played this fall.

Given the amount of NBA and MLB players that are testing positive, I don't see this working.

A LOT of money on the line. They will try to make it happen. 

School districts that probably make less than $50,000 a year from HS football are trying to get football to happen. The NFL won’t budge until a governmental order shuts it down.

I'm waiting for an official announcement on refunds, as in the actual date PSL holders can start requesting them.  I suspect it won't be for another month as the League and teams will wait as long as possible to make that decision refunding season ticket holders.

It only makes sense for season tickets holders to get refunded...forfeiting their PSLs for just this season and then sell ALL seats on a per game basis as things remain fluid, that is if some fans are actually allowed.  That way people who purchase tickets for a particular game actually WANT to be there (understanding the perils). This is a much better solution than having PSL owners that feel obligated to go because the tickets were already paid for in the season package or unjustly burdening them to find buyers in the midst of a pandemic.

Honestly, this whole thing is fuging dumb. I just don't see how they possibly think it is going to work out. 

European sports have been really successful playing during COVID.  US is a different story.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
